Stephen:
Let us know what you think, OK? I watched quite a bit last night. I'm with you, Heather, just being open-minded. It is really different being somewhere in person as opposed to watching on TV or online.
As for the personal "words" here, I think in general it is fine and edifying. But I have felt for sometime that we should exercise a certain amount of caution. Basically, I don't think we should ALWAYS go around seeking a new word. At times, it's fine and it helps. But if it is used too often, it loses its effectiveness.
Most of us, as Christians, have our methods of relating to God. If God chooses to use someone else, fine. But we shouldn't DEPEND on that.
I was VERY hesitant about posting anything for a specific person. With me, it was just ideas and some verses that came to my mind when I was praying for them. I certainly did NOT, and never will, put myself in a position of claiming to speak for God. If the person receives it, great. If not, that's fine, too.
I was actually a little surprised when people replied that what I said was on the mark for them. But, that's great, more glory to God!! But I don't claim to be any sort of expert.
Blessings everyone.
